I will take the time to create a offical Hami Raid guide. I will help Liberty get Hamidon Raids back onto Liberty! In the future I hope to see future Hami Raid Leaders. Liberty was the "First" server to successfully complete a Hami Raid.
**Some information is taken off paragonwiki.**

Hamidon:

Hamidon is the ultimate monster in the game. A giant amoeba that spawns withinThe Hive (Hero Side) andThe Abyss (Villain Side). Between the Hamidon core and its many surrounding Mitochondria, Hamidon is difficult to defeat. Over time specific strategies have evolved that take 30-50 heroes to defeat Hamidon. Defeating Hamidon results in the award choice of a single random Hamidon Enhancement or 53 merits.

Hamidon consists of:

1. Spawn Hamidon
2. Clear initial mitos (1st mito phase)
3. Fight Hamidon to 75% health
4. 1st mito bloom
5. Clear mitos (2nd mito phase)
6. Fight Hamidon to 50% health
7. 2nd mito bloom
8. Clear mitos (3rd mito phase)
9. Fight Hamidon to 25%
10. 3rd mito bloom
11. Clear mitos (4th and last mito phase)
12. Defeat Hamidon

Mitochondria Antibodies:

Mitochondria Antibodies' (also known as "yellows") special defense is Resistance, which buffs defense to ranged and AoE well past the hard cap of 175%. They are therefore nearly untouchable except by attacks which lack the ranged and AoE defense types, namely, single target melee attacks, certain melee cones and PBAoEs, certain control and debuff powers, and autohit attacks.
Mitochondria Antibodies' attack, Cytoplasmic Blast, deals high special DoT to targets within a large 45' AoE radius, additionally inflicting high magnitude knockback and disorient.
Mitochondria Antibodies are also protected by a 45' radius PBAoE damage aura, Cytoplasmic Burst, which deals low special DoT, but the same amount of knockback and disorient as Cytoplasmic Blast. The disorient from the two powers easily stacks and can overwhelm status protection toggles without outside status protection buffs.

Mitochondria Electrolytes:

Mitochondria Electrolytes' (also known as "blues") special defense is Resistance, which buffs defense to melee and AoE well past the hard cap of 175%. They are therefore nearly untouchable except by attacks which lack the melee and AoE defense types, namely, single target ranged attacks, certain control and debuff powers, and autohit attacks.
Mitochondria Electrolytes' attack, Paralytic Blast, deals special damage to a single target (at first), additionally draining endurance, possibly inflicting fear, and debuffing recharge, speed, and recovery for a long time. A target hit by Paralytic Blast or Contagion will fire a Contagion with similar effects at a nearby target, thus Paralytic Blast can affect several targets, or, often, two nearby targets multiple times.
Mitochondria Electrolytes are also protected by a 15' radius PBAoE damage aura, Paralytic Aura, with effects similar to Paralytic Blast, but far higher damage, a 100% chance to inflict fear, higher endurance drain and higher recovery and recharge debuffs. This makes Electrolytes dangerous to approach without protection.

Mending Mitochondria:

Mending Mitochondria's (also known as "greens") special defense is Regenerative Aura, which greatly increases resistance to all damage types (for a total of 90% resistance) and buffs regeneration well past the hard cap of 8.33% per second. Regenerative Aura is visible as a green translucent force field surrounding the mitochondrion. If the mitochondrion is held, Regenerative Aura will deactivate at its next tick, leaving the mitochondrion relatively easy to destroy.
Mending Mitochondria's attack is Endocronic Blast, which deals only minor damage to a single target, but severely debuffs the target's regeneration and makes them resistant to heals for a long time.
Mending Mitochondria lack any PBAoE damage aura, and so are safe to approach.

Organization:

1. Agro Team 1: 2-3 Tankers with 2emps and a storm and kin. These 2 Tanks WILL need 16EoEs (4 each Bloom) 2-3 Tanks on this team because 1 tank will probably suffice and 1 to get in there ASAP
2. Agro Team 2: 6 Tankers, 2emps with taunt slotted with some range IO/SO/ enhancements. This is for the safety of the Assault/scrap teams. Agro Team 2 will stand afar from the Yellow Mitos from their 45ft ranged PBAoE attack.
3. Assault Team 1 - 4 Blasters WITH single target attacks, and 4 support toons. Kin/storm/emp
4. Assault Team 2 - Samething as Team 1
5. Scrap Team 1 - 4 Scrappers, 4 support toons.
6. Scrap Team 2 - 4 Scrappers, 4support toons.(same as Team 1)
7. Remaining people unteamed will be called as Assault Team 3.

That's my basic team setup.



Hamidon Blooms:

When the Hamidon reaches 75% (35340 from 47120) HP, a full set of Mitochondria will spawn. This is known as a "bloom." Six more each of yellows, blues and greens will appear just as they did when Hamidon spawned. Another bloom occurs when the Hamidon reaches 50% (23560), and the final bloom occurs at 25% (11780). The bloom at each level can occur only once per raid; for example, even if the Hamidon heals from 75% back to 100%, it will not get another bloom until 50%.
The Hold Phase of the old Hamidon raid is no longer feasible, as blooms occur even if the Hamidon is held. Additionally, it takes 30 or more players to Hold Hamidon, and even so only for a second or two.
When a bloom occurs, the sudden onset of powerful AoE attacks will effectively wipe any player in the cytoplasm. Since it is not possible to evacuate the cell while keeping up sufficient damage-per-second, the cytoplasm is quickly evacuated at every bloom under the standard strategy to avoid a raid wipe and hospital trips, which could lock participants out of a full instance.
Each team usually designates one person with the Assemble the Team veteran reward power to evacuate the team each bloom. Two or three teammates with Assemble the Team are needed. This way, all players can be evacuated from the Hamidon and revived if necessary in order to take out the Mitochondria once more.

** The Mending Mitos(green) Must be held to be damaged. Mag hold of 50.**
** Assault Teams, and Scrap Teams need Atleast 2 EoEs for Protection.**
**Atleast 1 person Should have Recall friend on EACH TEAM.**

With my patience and striving to learn and to lead people to success got me into college course in business and culinary during my sr yr. Cooking is what gets the ladies right?

Okay, I'm on ventrilo with a friend and she says that the servers are going down now for maintmence for 2hours. GL wonder what they'll attempt "to fix" now

Well.... Nice to meet a DB error after dcing on a MoSTF.....

1, this took a long time to start. 2, I knew like 10people from liberty.

I can make it tonight.

It's a joke, don't listen to fitz... not worth it on the forums... tells... pms... like this can hurt a sg when some new people want to join and they look at this =/

I'm ready for sunday Shf hami... I have my macros ready.

Can't log into Liberty as well. I get Can't connect to Dbserver.

Been needing badges on my main, and alt toons. Also some to collect reward merits for GR. I'm creating a list for the following TFs. If you would like to join sign here or shoot me a PM on game or forums.

**Blue side**

2.5bill for glad.
800mill for shield wall or 3bill takes them both

John is correct, there is a wide variety of SGs out there. Most active ones I see running around is Sisterhood/A.W.O.L/Dream Weaverz and a few others which I cannot remember the names of lol

Ops will take you in, we currently have 10actives, 5+more are currently thinking about coming back for Going Rogue.

We have ventrilo, forums, 15SG/VGs currently 5 are in the top 100. We play across 5 servers. Liberty is our main "hero" server, we currently have 4(maybe 5 now) Project Obsidian Operation bases 3 are in the top 100. Guardian is our main "villian" server, we have yet decided to shut down the bases on that server due to inactivity. We currently have 3VGs there, 2 in the top 100. Protector is another hero server(small base). Virtue/Freedom is our mix servers. Freedom has 2villian, and 2hero bases. Virtue has one of each.

We have 2 weekly teams, Monday and Thursdays.

If you think about it, people who own masterminds can buy the S.A's and any other cheap IOs for their MM before the market merge. Since you can trade items between factions.

So I can't see there be a raise in the price for S.A's if people do it smart and buy ahead of time. And after awhile, the prices will go down. You do have 4factions on 1 market and hero side makes more money and other stuff than the villians.


My prediction of the market merge, prices of items will decrease by 1/4 or stay the same.

lol@whoput,lolmattaintgonnawin. Meh I probably could've, decided to go to the Mets baseball game friday and saturday.

Guess I can't make it either, 6pm eastern, I'm out eating dinner then. Can you please do this again sometime again?

Sweet, I'm in. One question, my pvp toons are on virtue, but i play Liberty more. Was wondering if I could use my one toon on lib, then use my other toon on virtue on test if I win on lib? Or do I have to stay on one toon?

What are your in-game Globals?: @It's Me Matt - @M2 is Deadly (Test - @Matt is Here - @Chemical Romance)
What are your PvP characters?: Psi/Em - kat/wp - emp/ar - spines/invuln - dark/therm - Claws/nin(lolstalker) fire/pain(corr)
Are you willing to respec into a better PvP build?: Meh, Only better than mine, then why not?
Are you willing to roll a new character if needed?:sure
Do you have a mic?: yea
What is your general day/time availability?: Depends, it's summer. So roughly around 6:30 -whenever I go to sleep. (All my times are EST)Briefly describe your PvP experience: PvPing for 3years, Arena/Zone, won some tournaments 1v1s, 2v2s

It was a good turnout even though it was the first day of it. We had about 10-12 shows. We did about 5 arena matches within 2hours team arena.

Day one- We worked on team calling/targeting and the basics of team arena.

Meeting is open to everyone. I'm not sure if people are interested in a Event Committee for Liberty, it's nothing like Perc. No one is the leader of LRT, besides Liberty Server is the leader of it.

Meeting Friday night @9PM EST, if you cannot make it PM me IG or here or you could leave a post in this thread. Yay or Nay?
